Public Apology

[CMDR Pugwash]

I have been very critical of the Magic Teleportation announcement and very vocal in my criticism of FD. I didn't believe that they would listen to those of us with concerns and I was wrong. I apologise for this.


For those of you who haven't seen it Sandro has posted an official poll to determine how we feel. Please cast your votes carefully.

+1. The stickied posts are basically just noise to me. I always scroll past them to get to the actual posts.

I didn't know about the poll until it showed up in Discord.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Your apology will be accepted upon kissing the loach's pinky ring.

 

[JYD75]

Kudos and Respect for owning it.
Also kudos to FD for listening and polling officially!

lol thats just pure filth

I also like the part where they said timed transfer would be the default unless there was overwhelming support for instant. That's a good sign, there.

Just sent tea all over my desk!

Now the question is...what have we learned from this?

 

[raymondo the great]

Now they have rethought and are going to listen to the community, even if a load of people for insta transport come out the woodwork and it's lost 10-1 I'll still be happy with the devs for doing this.

Thanks for the heads up, I might have missed it otherwise.

Tea? Is that what you call it?

Also fair play on the apology! However if people like you weren't so vocal in their support or disappointment I wonder if we would've got the poll! (Chicken and the egg!) so keep spouting those opinions mate

Erm...it takes a several thousand comment long argument post for FD to consider putting a poll together to listen to an idea?

It's okay. I prefer it that way. The majority of player-conceived ideas are...disheartening.

Thanks for alerting me to this important vote Cmdr. Rep Instant transfer to you reponometer (Or it might arrive in 5 mins )

 

[Goose4291]

Same from me. I am massively impressed that Frontier are going back to listening to their community, rather than just making a decision based on snap knee jerk reactions.

Bravo

 

[DukeIronHand]

Well thanks for the heads up.
I, like others, would have missed it.

Neither of those options are the way I would like to see it go (transfer time should be the same as a Cmdr flying that distance and at a cost plus a "administrative delay") but voted #2 as the better of the given choices.
